this paper presents a genetic algorithm (ga) for solving a generalized model of single-item resource-constrained aggregate production planning (app) with linear cost functions. app belongs to a class of pro-duction planning problems in which there is a single production variable representing the total production of all products. we linearize a linear mixed-integer model of app subject to hiring...

this paper is focused on the tactical design of steel supply chain (ssc). a general mathematical model is proposed to integrate production and transportation planning in multi-commodity ssc. the main purpose is to prepare a countrywide production and distribution plan in an ssc with three layers consisting of iron ore mines as suppliers, steel companies as producers, and subsidiary steel compan...

Optimum utilization of limited resources in the production floor demands that the production manager makes decisions on the best allocation of limited resources. This study applied linear programming techniques to production planning problem in a feed mill producing company. Linear Programming model was formulated based on data obtained from the company operations’ diary. Data was processed wit...

determination of shipment quantity and distribution problem is an important subject in today’s business. this paper describes the inventory/distribution network design. the system addresses a class of distribution network design problem, which is characterized by multiple products family, multiple warehouses and retail-ers. the maximum capacity of vehicles and warehouses are also known. the res...
